did some of my own digging
apparently
Some functions are disable in test mode. This may be one.
Yes, this is described in article Testing Features and Limits in MetaTrader 4:
Some functions are processed/passed without output
These are Sleep(), Alert(), SendMail(), PlaySound(), MessageBox(), WindowFind(), WindowHandle(), WindowIsVisible()
btw any one else experience this problem,
i entered into EA the parameters from a date in 2007, however the backtest starts only this year in mid feb
and the EA indicators are blank with parameters over 100 bars so im assuming not enough data to draw.
Make sure your chart timeframe goes back that far - you can sometimes import more data by turning the autoscroll off and scrolling backwards.
